A Batch Of Questions

Mr.. Editor, would like to make
use of your Farmers Column by asking
for information as to whether there is
any cure for moOn-eye in horses. I
have a three-year-Old colt beginning
to show signs of mOOn.eye.
Also, what is the best remedy for en-
largement of the bones between the
pastern and hoOf joints? tits not ring
bone but swelling Oh the back part and
below the fetlock.
also will ask Mr.. Pancoast to give
the best method, for Kansas soil, TO
plant and care for evergreens. mean
a fence of Arbor Vita.
Mrs. Spencer should not imagine
man thinks her less beautiful by see
ing her do some outdoor work. He
may laugh, but admires her interest III
his affairs and will admit in his heart
that she is as fresh and fair as the day
he made her his wife. do not believe
in women working out but do like to
see them take an interest in their hus-
bands toll on the farm.

think they are more easily grown
than any other garden shrub.
The requisites for. success are, good
soil with natural or arti fetal drainage.
! we'll plOwed or spaded. Well rotted
manure as:ds much to the quantity of
fruit and growth Of plants.
Select cuttings of last years growth
at least ten inches long planting them
eight inches deep.
Rooted plants from the nursery are
better, il pr0curable.
The ground should be packed tigh.-
~ around the plants or cuttings and
thoroughly mulched.
Don't plant in some Out-0f-the-way
place expecting "that row Of trees or
"that stone wall'' to serve In the place
of cultivation.
Kansas sunshine can be relied ON to
make perfect fruit, if the root system
can continue to furnish an abundance
of moisture during the hot weather of
summer.
Keep down all weeds, stir the ground
well, thoroughly manure and mulch
before hot weather begins.
Watch and fight all insect pests. A
small beetle, of Dluish steel color, de-
posits its eggs in the green tender. AS
coon as it matches, the worm eats the
pith, in some cases entirely to the root.
Watch the plants daily during the
growing season, and if any show wilt
ed leaves, examine at once. and cut
back until the worm Is found and des-
trOyed.
This is the worst enemy Of the cur
rant in this section. Another known
as the currant worm attacks the foil
age, but does not seem to be common
here.
This fruit is delicate luxury that
we cannot afford to be without, to say
nothing of the profit of raising for
market.
They require less outlay of time and
money, and are more certain Of sue
cess than any of the small fruits.

How To Raise Millet.

have generally been successful in
my endeavOrs to raise millet.
1st. Be sure that the seed is new
and clean.
End. If the ground is dry pillow about
four acres and SOW as soon after az you
can get the ground pulverized, then
plow another strip and do likewise.
3rd. If the ground is very dry and
clOddy, wait for rain If it is q month
after, and never SOW when wet enough
to pack the soil.
From the LIST to the 18th of May has
proved to be the best season In my

A Good Suggestion.

Ed. Reyister:-Honest Uncle Robert
Cook has been very intimately
acquainted with fine hogs for forty or
fifty years. Now, why can't you in
duce him to write q few seasOnable
notes each week and form q hog de-
partment? 1 know his experience
would be of great value to Us young
men who have not had the time 10
practically acquire it, and his name is
so familiar to all that anything ne
might bay would be relied upon. just
now we are all looking for increase in
the hog line and we need some hints
from one who knows. G.. NORTON.

The Poultry Yard.

Uncle Park Delaplaine's double pig,
leads US to say that We procured a
three legged chick last year, and he
lived until full grown and was eaten
We just had one hatch out with four

If Mr.. Robert Cook will turn to the
second page of the REGISTER of Janu-
airy q, '87 and look just half way down
in the fifth column he will see copy

ais" for the year 1886, and will find !:
corn SCI, 600, 900; wheat $4,000; oats,
$lS6, 900 900, or about one third of the
poultry product for 1886. Will Uncle
Robert please rise and acknowledge
the corn?"
Mr.. Smith asks US how to tell wheth
er eggs are fertile. or not. Take an old
piece of rubber pipe or make a funnel
out of stiff cardboard, having the large
end little smaller than an egg. When
the eggs have been under the hen
seven days take a fresh egg and your
funnel and 70 out after dark with your
latern aud test them by putting the
long end of the egg into the funnel and
looking through it at the light. II the
end of the cardboard funneli dipped in
water it will the more readily at the
egg tightly. Eggs can be tested in
day time as we'll as in the night. A
fresh egg will look clear and light
colored, so will an unfertile one, while
a fertile egg will look dark or clouded.
All fertile eggs will not hatch. AZ some
get hurt from one cause and another
and decompOse, or as we call them
"rotten." Unfertile eggs will be good
after being set on 10 to 20 days and
should always be boiled and saved to
feed to the brood after they come out.
The day before eggs are due to hatch
put them in AZ warm water as your
hand can Stand and living germs will
be uneasy, while dead ones will not
move or will sink. c. NORTON.
